Dante Alighieris Gerechtigkeitssinn (German, Hardcover)

Dante's Divine Comedy is one of the most important works in the history of world literature. Although the theme of justice is of central importance in this work, studies of its content from a philosophy of law perspective have been thus far primarily conducted by researchers of Romance languages and literature rather than by legal experts. This is especially surprising considering the fact that Dante's Monarchia, which was produced at the same time, is considered one of the most important creations of the High Middle Ages in terms of the philosophy of law. This study examines Dante's sense of justice as reflected in the Divine Comedy under consideration of his main work regarding the philosophy of law.
